10 Goulds Power Ends are the result of 160 years of design experience, customer interaction, and continuous improvement. Customers get extended Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and lower life cycle costs (LCC)… guaranteed! 2 1 5 2 4 3 Goulds Patented Power Ends Extended Pump Life Through Intelligent Design 1 The heart of the , the condition monitor unit continuously measures vibration and temperature at the thrust bearing and automatically indicates when pre-set levels of vibration and temperature have been exceeded, so that changes to the process or machine can be made before failure occurs. A visual indication of pump health makes walk-around inspections more efficient and accurate. The result is a more robust process to monitor and maintain all your ANSI pumps so that your plant profitability is maximized. Condition Monitor Optimized Oil Sump Design Internal sump geometry is optimized for longer bearing life. Sump size increased by 10%-20% results in better heat transfer and cooler bearings. Contoured design directs contaminants away from bearings, to the magnetic drain plug for safe removal. 0 10 GRP I Oil Sump Capacity–(oz) GRP II GRP II GRP III 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 POWER END OIL CAPACITY vs. ANSI Pump Average Inpro VBXX-D Hybrid Bearing Isolators Most bearings fail before reaching their potential life. They fail for a variety of reasons, including contamination of the lubricant. INPRO VBXX-D has long been considered the industry standard in bearing lubricant protection. The now improves upon that design by offering stainless steel rotors, for maximum protection against contaminants and the corrosive effects of seal leakage or environmental conditions. These seals are non-contacting and do not wear.
